👋Hey tattoo artists! We are looking for you :)
We have space available with us at Next Door for-Casual, guest & resident artists.

🌿We are a small supportive team that values creativity, professionalism and mutual respect.

🦎Located on the top floor of Shivers Gallery @864shivers, there is also an opportunity to get involved with the gallery program if that’s something that interests you.

🐸We offer flexible options - low daily or weekly rent, or a low commission model of that suits you better (existing client base is preferred).

💚More than anything, this is a space to grow, be supported and help shape our community.

Sorry, this is not an offer for apprentices.

Send us an email- nextdoortattoos@gmail.com
And I will get back to you ASAP.

Hi👋

We thought it was about time to introduce ourselves!
We are the owners and artists here @nextdoortattoos (with our future apprentice- baby Ro)

A little about us:

Safak @sginkstudio is a contemporary artist and tattoo artist originally from Izmir, Turkey. His art focuses on the natural and political landscapes from his view as a Kurdish artist and asylum seeker in Australia. Safak is a skilled oil painter and installation artist with a Bachelor degree in painting and loves to bring these interests to his work with tattooing. You can check out his artwork here———> @safakgurboga

I (Emilie) am an artist with a Masters degree in drawing, and an art practice that incorporates drawing, painting and installation with a love of film and gothic theory. Currently busy as a new mum and working behind the scenes to bring the studio to life (you will likely see me and baby Ro buzzing around the studio making sure the plants are watered). You can check my art practice here.
————-> @emiliesymelamont

Next Door Tattoos is an independent studio borne from our love for making art and creating spaces that reflect our various background and passions. We are committed to creating a welcoming space for all people, to celebrate your bodies and bringing you ideas to life🖤

We so appreciate all of your support as we took this big leap and we can’t wait to see it grow bigger and better in the future! Watch this space! ⚡️😍
